About Google Scholar

About Google Scholar | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

Stand on the shoulders of giants.

"Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.

 
 

Features of Google Scholar

  • Search all scholarly literature from one convenient place
  • Explore related works, citations, authors, and publications
  • Locate the complete document through your library or on the web
  • Keep up with recent developments in any area of research
  • Check who's citing your publications, create a public author profile

How are documents ranked?

"Google Scholar aims to rank documents the way researchers do, weighing the full text of each document, where it was published, who it was written by, as well as how often and how recently it has been cited in other scholarly literature."

Google Scholar is a trusted resource for my 7th/8th grade students.  It combines the ease and familiarity most are accustomed to with google, with academically appropriate search results.  During the pre-writing process, this tool can support students in brainstorming, as well as finding evidence to support their ideas.  It has also proven useful during the editing and revision process, as it is very common in middle school for students to be asked to go back and find additional support for their ideas.

This application provides the added benefit of allowing students to publish their work for others to read and reference.  Research projects in my program often last several months, and many of the students would love the opportunity to publish their papers for the public to enjoy.

Très bon post pour dire qu'il faut remplacer les recherches dans Google par des recherches plus spécifiques, et puis d'autres conseils en plus.
